Discription

This book is for anyone who works with boilers: utilities managers, power plant managers, control systems engineers, maintenance technicians or operators. The information deals primarily with water tube boilers with Induced Draft (ID) and Forced Draft (FD) fan(s) or boilers containing only FD fans. It can also apply to any fuel-fired steam generator. Other books on boiler control have been published; however, they do not cover engineering details on control systems and the setup of the various control functions. Boiler Control Systems Engineering provides specific examples of boiler control including configuration and tuning, valve sizing, and transmitter specifications.This expanded and updated second edition includes drum level compensation equations, additional P&ID drawings and examples of permissive startup and tripping logic for gas, oil, and coal fired boilers. It also covers different control schemes for furnace draft control. NFPA 85 Code 2007 control system requirements are included, with illustrated examples of coal fired boilers, as well as information on the latest ISA-77 series of standards. What is the most important thing that engineers and operators need to know about boiler control? And, why is it so important? The answer is in this video, and the process for implementing it is explained in detail in Gilman’s book. Want to learn more about boiler control? Gilman is also the developer and instructor of the popular ISA training courses: ES-15 “Boiler Control Systems Engineering” and ES-16 “Burner Management Systems Engineering.”
